Thanks to Martin Petder, Iain Barker and John Lanier for their
valuable assistance.
As they suggested, it is possible to do this on a Tru64 machine
using the steps mentioned in the NHD7 documents on how to untar
the NHD7.tar.gz into a new UFS filesystem on disk.
Then by following the steps in the firmware best-practice document
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/best_practices/BP_CONSFWCD/TITLE.HTM
one can create an ISO image from the UFS filesystem, and use any
PC software to burn that ISO image to a CD-ROM.
The important part is that the CD image must be built on Tru64 with
Rockridge extensions (see the above document for the syntax).
It seems at this stage hard if not impossible to create a bootable
image on Linux or other OS.
Best regards
Michael
------- the original question was:
Hi managers,
I have obtained the NHD7 for Tru64 5.1B tar.gz archive
and need to burn it onto CD-ROM, but the PDF instructions
are Tru64-specific and only explain how to unpack the
archive onto a new UFS filesystem.
It does not explain how to burn this to CD-ROM, nor how
the general procedure could work under other OS.
If anybody has been able to create a CD-ROM under Linux or
other OS, how did you do it?
Best regards,
Michael Bütow
